Chapter 13 Life In London ETRONELLA, helped by her friend, Marigold Earnshaw, found a three-room apartment. She took it on a year’s lease. She hung cheap, bright chintz curtains, which she had made herself. She covered their divan beds with the game cheering flower-garden ma- terial. Peter helped hammer in the nails, and hang their pictures and restain the shabby floors. Petro- nella knew that it was small, poky, and in need of redecoration, but it was the best they could afford without being an unreasonable burden on Aunt Maisie. She loved it dearly. She felt a fine feeling of possession. It was her first indi- 3 home, Throughout the early summer, they lived as sociably as they could afford. Freedom was new to them. Peter’s first misgivings with re- gard to his job were ‘gradua!ly calming. They changed gradually, to an arrogant impatience, as he mastered it. Once more, the devi? ot restlessness, and boredom, and embition to press forward, con- sumed Peter whenever he left him- self time to think. “I can’t go on doing this sort of thing much longer. Take today! out how Mrs. Smith has been spending the money she won in the Irish Sweepstakes! Triplets at Hoxton! A ie (tooth- Jess old fool!) in Putney. Look at the real headlines. Spain, Russia, pad any the economic casi te ings that are really happening in the world! To escape the depression of dis- touragement, he filled the apart- ment with his friends, at all hours of day, and night. They had less sleep than ever before. She found it hard to learn her shorthand, and pass her tests. The largest item of Petrel’s housekeeping bill was A smell of stale tobacco smoke seemed to hang permanent- ly in the sitting-room. One of the most regular visitors was Marigold Earnshaw. Marigold ‘was engaged to the only son of Cha: s Universal Stores. He was a wealthy, weak-faced, but presentable young man. “He’s a very We pilot,” Mari- old told her. “He proposed to me mid-air. In his beautiful blue cabin monoplane.” “You sound as if you accepted the monoplane!” She brought this flying fiancé to the flat, once. But Jeremy Charrod preferred amus- ing himself in more exalted places. A gas fire, beer, and conversation, soon palled on him. But Marigold dic not cease com- ing. She came alone. ‘ One night, Peter followed her into the bedroom, where she had left her coat. He caught her in his arms, and held her. “Marigold, don’t go yet. Come e sitting-room won't be the ‘same without your copper head gleaming in the firelight. I’ve been staring at it; and at you, in that dress. I shall miss you ter- ribly.” She wrenched herself away. She was Sembling. She laughed at him. She put on @ little black hat, with a veil. “I shouldn’t have thought red hair was much attraction to you, carrots!” “It oughtn’t to be.” His arm ‘went around her. “Honestly, Peter, I must go. I don’t want to. The nicest. people on earth come to your parties. But Jeremy will be waiting.” ‘He released her like a hot plate. mn Jeremy!” Romantic Fools ‘ARIGOLD stopped laughing.

Now that you know they ‘ won’t fire you from the News, ail your enthusiasm and interest in the job has gone. You're always grumbling. But are you sure you're fitted for anything else?” “How can I tell, unless I have the chance to try?” “I don’t think you'll have the chance, until you're fit to take it. Tony Lance and most of the war correspondents speak three or four languages. You speak Russian well, French passably. You ought to yea more German, then Span- ish.” “But I could never do that. It takes year: to become a foreign pore sec od ene Languages are aw- ul. “You might not need to speak fluently, for some jobs abroad. Though I believe you’d soon learn. You're quick at them. But at least ask Rowdon if there is any pos- sibility of an opening, if you do work tremendously hard. How is he to know you are seething with ambition? You scarcely ever speak to him, and you don’t tell him.” Peter’s head jerked up. “By jove, my darling girl, I believe you’re right.” He sat still for a second, then bounded to his feet. He walked straight to the door. “Where are you going?” “To ask him, now! He works late. He'll be there!” He was back within an hour. When she heard Rowdon’s an= swer, Petronella was content. It conveyed a promise. “Go right | ahead. You never know. We could probably use you,” he had said. It brought bright new hope to Peter. Thereafter, it was her task to fos- ter it. He started at once on a Ger- man course. She went with him, to see that he did not miss classes. ‘I Love You’ (Ciepee as June changed into July, the interest of peo- ple, and parties, became less of a temptation. Casual visitors, abashed at finding them working, waited to be invited. Also, the fi- nancial situation was curbing gai- ety. When men met, they talked of the alarming withdrawal of for- eign funds from Germany; of the Communist riots in the Rhu.. Of the world-wide deficits facing other countries, and of the budget deficit facing Great Britain. “IT just don’t. understand what has happened to all the money?” said Petronella, in bewilderment. She read her daily paper with this same feeling of numbed un- derstanding, and helpless fear. “I must try to understand it,” she told herself fiercely, wrestling with the | names of Chinese provinces, war lords, Communist leaders, gover- nors, and generals. There was a military rebellion in the north, she gathered. But be- yond that, it was a constantl changing story of banditry, flood, famine, and rebellion. Tony Lance was still in China. It was a fiercely exhausting summer for Petrel. They went to a German class on Thursdays, and Spanish conversation lessons on Tuesday nights. The other eve- nings, whenever Peter was at home, they sat on either side of the table in the sitting-room, hear- ing one another’s verbs, reading Russian. As the summer advanced, London became close, and stifling. The economic crisis broke at the beginning of August. Gold was flowing out of Britain. The emer= gency was so grave, that the Eco- nomic Committee of the Cabinet sat all day, in Downing Street, dis- cussing a means of balancing the budget. Petronella and Peter went on working. They took their books to the park, and sat there till it grew dark. It seemed to Petronella that she was -‘ways stiff from sitting, and weary from learning. James pro- vided her only real escape to pleasure. In June, Aunt Maisie had chaperoned her in Cambridge for two of the ay week balls. She had danced till daylight, in a great beflowered marquee. On alternate Friday evenings, James came to town in his small sports ear. He took her to dinner, a theater, or to dance, _ “It isn’t any life for a girl, work- ing as you do,” James told her. She defended Peter against his impli- cation, quickly. “TI went out to Burma half- educated. I’m finishing in London. instead of Paris, or Lausanne, that's all.” “You wouldn’t be expected to learn. anything in a_ finishing school, or take examinations, or do the cooking, and washing up. You're looking tired.” “It’s only for a little while. It will be worth it, eventually, He will speak Russian, French, Ger- man, and Spanish, moderately well, and I shall speak them badly, | Peter is quick at languages, James! He'll also understand the political | troubles of the world, and the gold standard.” After their Friday evenings to- | gether, they drove down to Sussex, through the fresh country air. James ‘would kiss her, restrain- edly, when she said good night. On this particular evening, he held her for a minute longer. It was a warm September night. The - den was filled with the scent of pane arora bess They stood on ‘001 , facing one another. asoerikh iene tes first, and love a poor second?” | asked. “I've 2k ‘along with the others I snapped -been rehearsed.

Mixed in with the ‘tourists and the more modern inhabitants are some of the older’ class of, Spanish people who ‘speak little or no English and who have not changed their mode of living since Key West was first populated, and who add quaint and romantic aura to this’ beautiful tropical island. Sailors On Shore Leave We saw outdoor bowling alleys where sailors enjoyed their shore- leave, as though they didn’t ‘get enough exercise swabbing decks! Outdoor pool-rooms and , ice cream parlors opening right ‘into the street, tourist agencies showing tempting trips to Cuba and Nassau,’ department stores 'with samples of every kind of i merchandise displayed in their windows.

That did not seem necessary, however, as we} | found the boys to be a nice well-/ |behaved group, just having fun. | Two musicians pounded out | old-time tunes, one after another, | until they should have been ex- |hausted; the customers danced and relaxed, and although we did not dance we enjoyed - watching the others and also enjoyed the wlaging.

I finally became | uneasy, which I am always loathe to admit, and began to ask ques- tions. One woman who was very familiar with the habits of the fisherfolk assured me that there was nothing to worry about and suggested that they might not have had any luck early in the day and that the fish might have started to bite just as they were planning to come in. I bit on this, story and went back to my knit- ting, where I waited patiently until it started to get dark. in| the meantime I talked with sev-' eral people about this and that} and watched the little colored boys doing the flat-foot fluggie for a nickle, and then counting their gains with their little curly heads close together. Finally I; hunted up the wife of another! member of the party, who was also getting uneasy. She had a THREE PICTURES ‘OF CARVINGS SENT HERE William W.

If you can answer this simple question, you will hold the key to what many believe will be the most important meeting of Flor- ida’s law-making body. More than that, your services will be eagerly sought by the 95 repre- Sentatives and 38 senators who are now engaged in a quest for facts and figures upon which they can base unjintelligent, workable finance and! faxation program. Never in Florida’s history have our lawmakers prepared their treks to *THatvassee in an at- mosphere of greater confusion. Never have they attacked the Gordian .knot of fiscal affairs lines are written, the hopes of the majority of truth-seekers seems to rest upon Speaker- signate Pirece Wood’s Ways and Means Committee, which was appointed to sift the wheat from the chaff prior to the opening of the session. In brief, the present situation finds State Comptroller J. M. Lee insisting that Florida is far in the “red’’; State Treasurer W. V. Knott just as insistent that the state boasted a nine million dollar cash balance as of Janu- ary 31 and Governor Fred P. Cone stringing along with the treasurer in reaffirming pledge to oppose any new taxes.. Now the statements of the two cabinet officials, obviously, are as far apart as the poles and this commentator declines to com- ment, on. who’s right. If one takes into account what are known as ear-marked funds, then it would appear that the treas- urer’s balance is out of line. And if you tally up all. the money- spending bills, passed by the last legislature, then Col. Lee’s sum-! mary is correct. Hence it fol- th lows that the correct answer lies somewhere in between, but must be computed and computed accurately before the 1939 session can approach the problem of fi- nance and taxation with anything approaching definite and final action. Regardless of pronounciemen- tos, pro and con, opinion seems general, however, that the state is in a pretty bad fix financially, occupying about the same posi- tion as the average citizen, who signed notes for a Packard limousine when he made $200 a week and then suffered a salary cut to a paltry $50.

In the face of this situation, there should be as many tax plans as there are plums in your Christmas pudding. It was only natural that the single-taxers come forward with sugar-coated nestrums at a time when new revenue is the watchword. Many believe the Murphy act and other boons granted tax dodgers by other legislatures have combined to throw the state government upon the horns of the current dilemma.

Citi- zen firmly convinced that the legislature can and should cut governmental costs and that, if old-fashioned economy is practic- ed, the legislature can provide plenty of money for all needs without levying a single new penny of taxes. These conditions have been found before. You find the peo- ple, every two years, howling about the prospects of new taxes and heavier burdens. But the talk is akin to gossip about the weather and the reason little or nothing is done to reduce tax burden is because e is represented in ing legislative s inarticulate mas: people. of the common Will there be a people’s lobby | j at the coming session? Perhaps. There are signs of activity on the part of the Florida Taxpayers Association and efforts are being, made to mobilize the consumers against any form of sales tax.

Hence Florida’s news-' paper, editors—and we mean the editors of the weekly as well as the daily publications—must ac- cept the responsibility of reflect-| ing reader opinion to a greater extent than ever before.
